Best BMW Brand Accessories

[86Zed]

Wife and I have a sizeable chunk to spend at the local dealer as part of a gift card, sadly not eligible for parts to keep my aging BMWs on the road. Anything folks here find great and actually use regularly?

I'd get the Montblanc Flight Bag. That's the only accessory I'd consider getting.

All season rubber floor mats & cargo mat.
Battery Tender.
Tire mobility kit.
Cleaning/Detailing Products.

I've always wanted the fold down trays for the rear passengers, but that is only so one day I can say to my niece & nephew "Please return your tray to its upright position and begin preparations for arrival to our final destination"

Have fun shopping!

I love my BMW tire pressure gauge. It is inexpensive and very accurate.

I bought a "Natural Air Starter Kit" for each car and plenty of the refill sticks. My favorite is "Sparkling Raindrops."

I bought the BMW leather jacket. Extremely high-quality and it’s only just under $500.

Bought the same and like all the smells actually. Wife objects the intensity. I ended up putting it somewhere below the seat

I requested the mats/liners, air freshener, and roof rails - hoping those last bits qualify. Anything leftover and I will raid the detailing supplies inventory.

I have two CTEK battery tenders and while they are nice, they are half the cost without BMW branding.

[Westside Guy]

Does touch-up paint qualify?

[Jbrown7403]

Agreed on the Natural Air Starter Kit + Refill. Works well and looks good.

Rubber floor mats ?
Sun visor?

I tend to shy away from BMW gear because it's kinda bougie.

I wouldn't say bougie, I'd say cringeworthy. Anybody walking around like a billboard for a brand, especially a car brand, is a goof.

Not sure about the quality but the jacket looks fine to me. No big BMW print or anything.

That's actually subtle and tasteful. I had imagined something with large colored BMW logos loll, like a lot of Formula 1 gear

Yeah first thing came to my mind too and I had to check it out. A lot of their clothing looks decent. Never knew they made a full clothing line. What a trip. Can’t speak on the quality but looks, not half bad.

See it on the online shopping site I wanted that leather jacket for the longest time, but I didn’t know how it would fit. Then when I went to M school in South Carolina, they had at a really great BMW store in there with all kinds of great stuff including four sizes of this leather jacket. I found one that fit and bought it. It’s awesome. Really great quality.

That’s good to know. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Definitely think it looks pretty cool.

Just wanted to share how awesome our experience has been using the Carluex Carplay AI Box in our BMW. Highly recommended!

I picked up some door projectors for kicks.

I like playing with the M Performance Drive Analyzer… when I’m out playing in the car.

It’s an ODBII dongle and phone app combo with many fun and practical performance measurement tools. Great at the track, on the backroads and even the street.

Here’s a short sample vid of Track Drive mode with built-in phone video overlay :P

And a screenshot from the linked sample app output video. Lots of reviewable real-time data captured on the simulated dash…

Hey Linlian, I was actually looking at this too.
Just plug and play ?
